This energetic, fist-pumping rock song was written out of frustration. As an artist, rebellion creeps in when someone else is pulling all the strings. In this particular case, not doing anything at all was the issue. Sometimes you “..can’t fly on borrowed wings.”
I had just finished the lead vocal for Waiting and Frank turned to me and said, “I’m hearing a Disney thing in the background.” I looked at him like “What?” He went on to say, “Some kind of chant or something.” Well, after about 1000 takes, ‘Hummm, chugga, chugga, hummm’ was dropped in the mix. It’s subtle but really gives the bottom a real punch in the later choruses. Thanks Frank! I never doubted ya!
Waiting - Buy now!
